Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg to Adapt Robert Kirkman's Comic INVINCIBLE as a Film

Invincible is a great comic. It is not a huge DC or Marvel powerhouse but it's a cult classic with real heart. It tells the tale of a teenager who's father is the most powerful superhero in the world and how he eventually also comes across realizing his power. What's fun about this comic, is that while still having fun and being funny, it also shows a slightly more realistic view of superhero life. Not in an overly dramatic way, but rather in a sarcastic satirical way.  

So to hear that it is becoming a film is very exciting for me, and to hear that Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will be writing, directing, and producing the film is... well... it's good! I think if anyone were to make this movie, it would need to be people who understand comedy and conventions of satire. Let's try to forget about the Green Hornet film, which Rogen and Goldberg wrote. I think they've learned a lot since then and they've been doing a great job with Preacher.

The film is set up at Universal Studios who has proven they are pretty good at making comic book adaptions. Look no further than Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Then again, that had an all-star cast and one of my personal favorite directors of all time, Edgar Wright.

Robert Kirkman, who also is behind The Walking Dead comic, will also be involved in the production, so there is plenty of good involved. As more news on casting and production is revealed, we will report on it here.
